Currently Playing: The Nature of Gravity, Part 2: Projectile Motion in Constant Gravity

This is the second video in The Nature of Gravity, a series which explores the nature and essence of gravity. In this video, we analyze the motion of objects which are thrown, or in freefall, in constant gravity near the surface of Earth. We see how the height of an object will decrease over time, then vectorize that situation into a general equation for parabolic motion in constant gravity, then we apply that equation to solve the range problem.
